This frightened the life out of me the first time it happened in the middle of the night and woke me up! I have had other kit do this in the past so I thought it was just the poltergeist in my bedroom larking about again. Seriously. But I have also had it do it during the day, and think it may be linked to my HDMI sound drop-out problems i have talked about in other threads. I have noticed that when I get the sound dropout through my lx81 when playing a bluray through the PS3, I can hear a relay-type sound on my TV when the sound comes back on again. I wondered if it could be caused my mains glitches but it also happens when i connect through a mains conditioner. I have had my lx81 taken away for two months(yes, really) and the front display replaced because it was flickering but they did not find any problem with the hdmi side of things, but I am still getting these sound drop outs with my BT Vision box, and my PS3. The guy from Sevenoaks seems to think it is a compatibility problem. I'm still not convinced that it's not the LX81's fault, as even with the front panel display dimmed, i can still see the HDMI box on the left glowing on and off very feintly. It's now just out of warranty because they had the damn thing so long, but really I think I should be looking at a replacement. Isn't there a law that states if your item can not be fixed in a 'reasonable period', usually construed to be 28 days, then you are entitled to a replacement?
I know it seems like i've gone off topic, but I still don't know what's causing this problem. My TV's warranty runs out soon so if anyone thinks this could be the problem I need to try and get it fixed ASAP.
If it is 'compatibility' then, well, it shouldn't be, and manufacturers should tell you what kit is compatible with thier products before we part with £1500 of our very hard earned cash.
